Collects sixth win Romano (6-1) picked up the win in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning victory over the Tigers, giving up one hit over two scoreless innings. He struck out two.

Impact Entering the game in the bottom of the ninth, Romano navigated through the heart of the Detroit order on only 10 pitches, and he needed only 10 more to finish things up in the 10th after Toronto took the lead. The Jays closer has reeled off nine straight scoreless appearances with a dominant 16:2 K:BB over 10 innings during that stretch, but he could be unavailable Sunday should the team have a late lead to protect.

He's up to 13-for-14 in save chances with five holds, a 2.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 62:20 K:BB across 46.1 innings this year.

Collects 12th save Romano struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Monday to record his 12th save of the season in a 2-1 win over the White Sox.

Impact The right-hander has been dominant in August, posting a 2.00 ERA and 18:3 K:BB through nine innings while picking up a win and three saves. Toronto's bullpen has been an issue all season, but the closer role at least seems to be in good hands with Romano.

Notches 11th save Romano gave up one hit and struck out three batters in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his 11th save of the season in a 3-0 win over the Tigers.

Impact The flamethrowing right-hander gave up a single to Derek Hill on the first pitch he threw, then overpowered the heart of the Detroit order to close things out. Romano has had some ups and downs this year but hasn't actually blown a save since April 8, and he sports a 2.44 ERA and 60:20 K:BB through 44.1 innings.

Secures 10th save Romano picked up his 10th save of the season in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Red Sox, fanning two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Romano needed 17 pitches to get the job done, with 12 of his offerings finding the strike zone. The right-hander looks to be manager Charlie Montoyo's preferred option for saves at the moment, even after Toronto acquired a proven closer at the deadline in Brad Hand.

Picks up win, fans two Romano (5-1) earned the win in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox. He tossed a scoreless inning, fanning two.

Impact Romano pitched the seventh inning and kept the game scoreless with a sharp outing, as he only needed 14 pitches (eight strikes) to get the job done. The right-hander, who has also gone 9-for-10 in save chances this season, should remain Toronto's main late-inning arm going forward.

Notches ninth save Romano gave up a run on one hit and a struck out one in the ninth inning Friday to record his ninth save of the season in a 6-4 win over the Royals.

Impact Trade-deadline acquisition Brad Hand worked the eighth inning and also gave up a run, albeit an unearned one, so for now it looks like Romano will remain the top closing option for the Jays. The right-hander stumbles into the final day of July with an 8.10 ERA on the month, but Romano's 2.48 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB through 36.1 innings on the season are far more palatable.

Picks up save Wednesday Romano earned the save in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox after tossing a scoreless inning, striking out one.

Impact Romano was in charge of closing things out in the seventh inning during the first game of the doubleheader and made quick work of the inning, as he only needed 14 pitches (11 strikeouts) to get the job done. Romano, who tossed his second straight scoreless outing and seems to be turning things around after a couple of subpar appearances, has gone 8-for-9 in save appearances this season.

Allows homer but earns save Romano allowed a run on two hits in one inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Romano gave up a solo home run to Brandon Lowe in the ninth inning, but the right-hander was able to protect Toronto's lead after that. Through 32.2 innings, Romano is 7-for-8 in save chances while adding five holds, a 1.93 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 40:17 K:BB. He'll likely continue to see most of the save opportunities in the second half of the season.
